The 2017 Championships are hosted by FPV Ottawa and will take place at our nation’s capital on October 13th, 14th & 15th. In celebration of Canada’s 150th anniversary of confederation, we felt that Ottawa was the perfect location for this year’s Canadian Championships and worked hard to have drone racing be recognized as one of the official Canada 150 partners.

This years championship event will consist of two of the top world events in drone racing, The FPV Canada CDN2017 and the IDRA Challengers Cup, Eastern Canadian Competitions as well as workshops, presentations and hands on experience with micro-drones.

Canada’s largest drone racing league, FPV Canada is joining forces with the CFDR and IDRA 2017 Challengers Cup, to hold a double qualifying drone race for Western Canada.

The Canadian Drone National Qualifiers & IDRA Challengers Cup Western Canadian Competitions presented by Canadian Drone Academy and in collaboration with FPV Vancouver & West Coast Drone Racing League will take place at the Burnaby Sports Complex. Set against the natural beauty of the Rocky Mountain ranges, the location will feature a Beer Garden and food trucks and an AirBlade Micro-drone test arena for attendees.

A group called FPV Ottawa, an affiliate chapter of FPV Canada, has started up the area’s first indoor drone racing league. Up to four racers at a time fly mini-quads around an indoor make-shift obstacle course.
